Tarsis Acquires Five New Gold Projects,
Yukon
Tarsis Resources (TSXV: TCC) (?Tarsis? and ?the Company?) is pleased to announce that it has acquired a 100% interest in five new
gold projects by staking in Yukon.
Each of the projects covers Cambrian
to Devonian aged carbonate strata, attributed to the Bouvette Formation, with
anomalous to strongly anomalous gold values from assays in drainages flowing on
or from the staked areas. Each of the projects exists in a structural
environment and with pathfinder element geochemistry considered favourable by
the Company.
President and CEO, Marc Blythe stated ?We have followed Atac Resources? Rau project with
strong interest and decided to explore similar geological environments in
search of carbonate-hosted gold. These five projects cover similar
geological, geochemical and structural settings. Elevated gold values in
drainages leading from carbonate rocks present an excellent opportunity for
Tarsis to commence its search for ?Rau like? projects.?
Tarsis intends to carry out early
stage exploration, including stream sediment, soil and rock sampling,
prospecting and mapping, commencing in June 2010.
The Lion project consists of
96 claims (approximately 2,000
hectares), and is located 99 kilometers
north-northwest of Dawson City,
Yukon.
The Tau project consists of
60 claims (approximately 1,250
hectares), and is located 67 kilometers
north-northeast of Dawson City,
Yukon.
The Eagle project consists of
24 claims (approximately 500
hectares), and is located 88 kilometers
north-northwest of Dawson City,
Yukon.
The Jaguar project consists
of 42 claims (approximately 900 hectares), and is located 85 kilometers
north-northwest of Dawson City,
Yukon.
The Eye project consists of 4
claims (approximately 80
hectares), and is located 105 kilometers
northwest of Dawson City, Yukon.

in financings, including both Canadian flow through and non-flow through funds.
